Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a non-shrink varistor substrate and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a non-shrink varistor substrate and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the non-shrink varistor substrate has a low shrinkage rate upon firing, high mechanical strength, and good heat dissipation efficiency.

BACKGROUND ART

A light emitting diode (LED) has advantages such as low power, high efficiency, high luminance, and long lifetime and is thus mainly provided in the form of a package in electronic parts, but is disadvantageously susceptible to static electricity or inverse voltage. In order to utilize an LED in the presence of static electricity or inverse voltage, a Zener diode or a varistor is connected parallel to an LED chip.
However, a process of integrally packaging a Zener diode or a varistor with an LED chip is problematic because of a limited space and an increased number of processes due to additional processing, and an enlarged size and high manufacturing cost due to additional mounting.
Also, by means of a Zener dioder or a varistor disposed to be flush with the LED chip, light produced from the LED chip may be scattered and refracted, making it difficult to efficiently control a luminous view angle. Therefore, a process of embedding a Zener diode in a substrate is being adopted.
A device-incorporated substrate includes inner and outer electrodes, and the inner electrodes are printed between the sheets of the substrate and then sintered. The outer electrodes are connected to the inner electrodes.
However, a substrate disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2013-0007693 may cause shrinkage deformation in a firing process depending on the type of material for the substrate. Furthermore, the shrinkage rate of the substrate is not uniform, making it difficult to manufacture a substrate that satisfies a precise dimension standard. Moreover, reducing the shrinkage rate of the substrate may be complicated, undesirably deteriorating productivity. Also, as the substrate itself is not enhanced in mechanical strength, utility of the substrate may decrease.

MODE FOR INVENTION

Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of the present invention with reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, it is to be noted that, a redundant description, known techniques that may make the gist of the present invention unclear, and a detailed description of constructions will be omitted.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a non-shrink varistor substrate 100 according to the present invention includes a reinforcement layer 10, a thin bonding layer 20, a first bonding layer 30, a second bonding layer 40, a first varistor layer 50, a second varistor layer 60, outer electrode layers 70 a, 70 b, a conductive material 80, and a light emitting device 90.
The reinforcement layer 10 may include at least one of Al₂O₃, AlN and MgO. Such a reinforcement layer 10 may be provided in sheet form. The reinforcement layer 10 may have at least one via hole at one side thereof
The thin bonding layer 20 is formed on the surface of the reinforcement layer 10 made of a post-fired ceramic material. A material for the thin bonding layer 20 may include at least one of SiO₂, CuO and Cr₂O₃. In the present invention, the thin bonding layer 20 is formed, after which pre-firing may be performed to result in an oxide layer, or may not be implemented depending on the type of layer material. When the thin bonding layer 20 is provided in this way, the bondability between the reinforcement layer 10 made of a post-fired ceramic material and the varistor layers 50, 60 is enhanced upon firing a varistor molded body. Also, the non-shrink varistor substrate 100 according to the present invention is configured such that the varistor layers 50, 60 are bonded to the reinforcement layer 10 including the thin bonding layer 20 formed on the surface thereof, thus achieving precise dimensions at a shrinkage rate of 0˜0.9%.
The first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 are formed on and under the reinforcement layer 10, respectively. Also, the first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 may have at least one via hole at a position corresponding to the position of the via hole of the reinforcement layer 10. The first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 may be formed using at least one of ZnO, Pr₂O₅, Bi₂O₃and Sb₂O₃. The first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 are formed so as to enhance the bondability between the reinforcement layer 10 and the first varistor layer 50 and between the reinforcement layer 10 and the second varistor layer 60. In order to maximize bondability, the first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 may be composed of 75˜95 parts by weight of ZnO, and 5˜15 parts by weight of Bi₂O₃. Also, the first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 may further include 0˜5 parts by weight of Pr₂O₅, and 0˜5 parts by weight of Sb₂O₃. The first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 may be formed so that a firing temperature is about 900° C. Moreover, the non-shrink varistor substrate 100 according to the present invention may be configured such that the thin bonding layer 20 is formed on the surface of the reinforcement layer 10, without the first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40, and thereby the varistor layers 50, 60 may be bonded on and under the thin bonding layer 20.
The first varistor layer 50 is formed on the first bonding layer 30. The second varistor layer 60 is formed under the second bonding layer 40. The first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 are a varistor having an antistatic function. The name varistor is a portmanteau of variable resistor. Such a varistor indicates a non-linear semiconductor resistor the resistance of which varies depending on the applied voltage. When the applied voltage is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, the varistor plays a role in protecting the device by discharging electricity. The first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 may be provided in the form of a ZnO-based substrate having good thermal conductivity and reflectivity.
The first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 may be provided in a structure where a plurality of green sheets is stacked. As such, the plurality of green sheets may be manufactured as below. Specifically, a ZnO powder is mixed with an additive, such as Bi₂O₃or Sb₂O₃, and at least one of Co₃O₄, Nd₂O₃and Pr₆O₁₁so as to possess a desired composition. The ZnO powder thus obtained is subjected to ball milling for 24 hr together with a solvent such as water or alcohol, thus preparing a feed powder. The feed powder is mixed with, as an additive, about 6 wt % of a PVB binder that is weighed per the amount of the feed powder and dissolved in a toluene/alcohol-based solvent. The resulting mixture is milled for about 24 hr using a small ball mill and blended, thus preparing a slurry. This slurry may be formed into a plurality of green sheets having a desired size using a process such as doctor blading or the like.
Some of the green sheets of each of the first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 may be printed with a first inner electrode layer 55 and a second inner electrode layer 65. The others of the green sheets of each of the first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 may not be printed with the first inner electrode layer 55 and the second inner electrode layer 65. The first inner electrode layer 55 includes a first sub inner electrode layer 55 a electrically connected to a first pole, and a second sub inner electrode layer 55 b electrically connected to a second pole having a polarity opposite the first pole. The second inner electrode layer 65 includes a first sub inner electrode layer 65 a electrically connected to a first pole, and a second sub inner electrode layer 65 b electrically connected to a second pole having a polarity opposite the first pole. The first inner electrode layer 55 and the second inner electrode layer 65 may be formed of Ag or AgPd. Also, each of the first inner electrode layer 55 and the second inner electrode layer 65 may have at least one via hole at a position corresponding to the position of the via hole of the reinforcement layer 10. The first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 may be formed so that a firing temperature is about 1000˜1100° C. Below, a molded body including the reinforcement layer 10, the first bonding layer 30, the second bonding layer 40, the first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60 is referred to as a varistor molded body.
When the varistor molded body is fired, the first bonding layer 30 and the second bonding layer 40 are rapidly fired, compared to the first varistor layer 50 and the second varistor layer 60, and simultaneously, bondability between the reinforcement layer 10 and the first varistor layer 50 and between the reinforcement layer 10 and the second varistor layer 60 may be enhanced. Furthermore, the non-shrink varistor substrate 100 according to the present invention may include only the first varistor layer 50 provided on the thin bonding layer 20 or on the first bonding layer under the condition that the first bonding layer 30 is present, without the second varistor layer 60.
The outer electrode layers 70 a, 70 b are formed on the first varistor layer 50 and under the second varistor layer 60, respectively, and are electrically connected to the inner electrode layers 55, 65 by a conductive material 80 loaded in the via hole formed through the first varistor layer 50, the thin bonding layer 20, the reinforcement layer 10, and the second varistor layer 60.
The light emitting device 90 may be mounted on one pole of the outer electrode layer 70 a, 70 b. Such a light emitting device 90 is electrically connected to the outer electrode layer having a different pole by means of a wire 1. Below is a description of a method of manufacturing a non-shrink varistor substrate according to embodiments of the present invention.

Furthermore, the formed thin film layer may be pre-fired to give an oxide layer, but pre-firing may not be implemented depending on the type of layer material.

When the first bonding layer is formed in this way, bondability between the thin bonding layer and the first varistor layer may be further enhanced. Also, firing a varistor molded body (S230) is carried out under the condition that the first bonding layer is provided. Upon forming an outer electrode layer (S240), the outer electrode layer is formed on the first varistor layer, and is electrically connected to the inner electrode layers by a conductive material loaded in the via hole formed through the first varistor layer, the thin bonding layer, and the reinforcement layer.

The resulting mixture is milled for about 24 hr using a small ball mill and blended, thus preparing a slurry. Such a slurry may be formed into a plurality of green sheets having a desired size using a process such as doctor blading or the like.
